MARY FIKOWSKI August 25, 1927-July 12, 2026
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Fikowski, at the age of 98 years in Victoria BC. Mary was born in Moose Jaw, SK to Michael and Magdalena Bekar, one of 18 children. Mary was predeceased by her beloved husband, Edward, and two sons, Larry and Leslie. Mary was also predeceased by 11 siblings. Left to mourn are her children, son, Dale (Pawana) and daughter, Shelley (Piero); daughter in law Glenda; grandchildren, Grant (Cheryl), Craig (Lori), Kyla(James), Amanda (Matt), Tyler (Shaden), and Sophon (Pop), 11 great grandchildren; siblings, Agnes, Loretha, Don, Hilda, Edwin, and Delores, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members. Mary and Ed began their lives together on a farm in Boharme, SK and later ventured into the motel business. Many years later they retired in Medicine Hat where they enjoyed many happy days golfing, playing cards, gardening, and spending time with wonderful friends and family. Many more great memories were made with summers at Mara Lake, BC and winters in Phoenix, AZ. After Ed’s passing, Mary moved to Victoria to be closer to family. Mary spent her remaining years at The Summit, a long-term care home, where she received compassionate care and friendship. The family extends their sincere gratitude to all who provided support, care and kindness. Mary will be remembered for her vibrant spirit, wonderful sense of humour, and deep love of her family. She loved to dance, enjoyed a good party, was an exceptional cook, and just loved to go shopping. Her warmth and kindness and zest for life will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.
